A full Checklist of the Medicinal Plants of Bangladesh

A full Checklist of the Medicinal Plants of Bangladesh means more than 700 species of medicinal plants those have the habitat in Bangladesh. People are using medicinal plants to treat their different diseases since ancient times. The use of herbal and medicinal plants is increasing day by day. People are preparing cosmetics including medicines from plants. Bangladesh is no exception to the commercial interests on these issues.

More than 80 percent of Bangladeshi people live in rural areas. People living in rural areas have been using medicinal herbs for their primary health care. Near About 6500 plant species are found in Bangladesh. Many of them have medicinal and herbal supplements.

In fact, many plants have medicinal herbs, although we do not have accurate statistics about it, almost one-fifth of the plants are expected to have these medicinal properties. Bangladesh National Herbarium (BNH) first created a list of the use of 192 herbal plants species of this country. Subsequently, a pictorial book published by Bangladesh National Herbarium on 700 plants species used by the local population living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region. In this article, we are presenting the illustrated names alphabetically of several significant herbal plants. Total 682 plant lists were included by the BNH publication, and we included some other species from our point of view.
